Pyrenees recommendations

Are you looking at the right list? The Pyrenees passes folder has the passes listed by name. If you'r looking at the 2024 trip folder the the naming convention is strange but works when you have lots of route options, and lots of people with different navigation devices
(each with there own display restrictions on route name) but you want to ensure everyone picks the same route.

Yeah, the list is great but I have to painstakingly go into each one to see where it is, and then remember where it is for later to piece together a route between all of them. I cant overview all of them in one view (like my image above shows another route in yellow). You can do that with routes in your route list, just appears not to support that for external group lists -

It's for this very reason that I have a change request with the MRA team to extend their "routes near my current map view" so that it not only looks at the routes from their route expert library but also looks at the users own local folder. The MRA team have said they'll look at it but if you felt so inclined, feel free to go onto the MRA forum and vote the request up further.

The issue with the Alps passes list is even bigger!

Okay, I've chatted to the lads and I think we may scrap the coast to coast idea, and perhaps check into a hotel for 3 nights, then another for 2 and do the surrounding areas.

Any suggestions on the best areas to stay to maximise the access?

Are you definitely crossing Dover Calais?

If you are heading for the Pyrenees I would cross Portsmouth St Malo on the overnight ferry and you could be down at the Pyrenees by the following evening.

As for two locations to stay Pau/Oloron St Marie and then over to Bagneres Luchon are two pòssibilities. I would broadly target central Pyrenees for passes. Lots of nice ones to go for.

Lots of options there or he'll actually create tailored ones for you if you like.
